About Face Forward

Face Forward works with community leaders and organizations around the nation and throughout the world, in order to identify victims of violence who are working toward recovery and who carry the physical evidence of past abuse. We are able to provide our services to individuals who are committed to their recovery by partnering with local community centers, which offer complementary relief, housing, counseling, job searches and legal assistance. We are one humble part of the recovery puzzle; however, the immediate results of our healing efforts provide individuals with the confidence to put their best Face Forward once again.

Face Forward is a non-profit organization, a 501(c)(3) registered in the State of California. In 2015 alone, we have provided over $750,000 pro bono treatments to our patients. Since an average patient's treatment costs approximately $5,000, every penny helps.

Face Forward vows that all individuals who cannot afford the fees associated with proper internal and external care will be treated pro bono. Our team of skilled surgeons and specialists have been fortunate enough to impact the lives of many with truly life-changing results, but this is just the beginning. We need your help.

We welcome your generosity, support and donations. Please contact us for details on how to support our cause and keep an eye out for one of our fundraising events.
